Just got off phone from NISSAN, 93-2/96 was a option on Turbo coupe.

Now we are talking Turbo and we are talking coupe.

2/96-end of production ABS is standard equip.

information taken from Nissan Japan spare parts computer

Now I have only seen turbo coupes 2/96 with ABS. never without.

I only go by official nissan information, and thats what I pass on to the people on this forum.

I do not listen to anybody at auctions or brokers in Japan, in fact I don't buy from them, I don't trust any of them

I think you could both be right.

I had a look on the http://imports.motortraders.net.au/ site (formerly japimportcar.com) and it lists two model variants for series 2 r33 gts25ts (manual, coupe). The first 1996-1997 has ABS as an option, and the second 1997-1998 has ABS as standard.

So it could be that only the late model series 2 have ABS standard and the earlier series 2 ones don't.

I guess I have to repeat what I said.

ALL MY INFORMATION IS FROM NISSAN

they are the people that build the cars we are talking about.

I don't think japimportcar.com would know more than NISSAN JAPAN. in fact I don't think anybody would no more than them!!!

If it doesn't have ABS and the build date is later than 2/96 then its NOT ORIGINAL. (FACT)

If you disagree then ring Nissan Japan.

Sure MR-GTR.. but the person who you spoke to at Nissan did not build the cars.. perhaps he just looked up the one model variant (later series 2) and gave you that info.

How do you suggest that there are so many series 2's without ABS? Are people removing it or what?

I hardly think 50% of them have gone out and done a series 2 conversion on their series 1 .. and changed the interior too? =)

I know all GTS-4 has ABS on them...

I should count my self lucky...

I thought ABS was factory option to all series II! .. I guess not:rolleyes:

anyway Just becareful on the road and hope you dont have to use ABS...

maybe ABS is good thing to have BUT it can be really annoying on the track...

cheers

ok people, the truth has come out, I've got the original skyline series II japanese catalogue right here in front of me and its says quite clearly (well its in japanese but you could work out) that the gts25t type M with active LSD (which is a seperate model by itself) and the gts-4 are the only ones with standard ABS. the rest which include the type M specII and the spec I and all the nonturbo versions have it as an option

I guess the guy at Nissan is a idiot, I was unlucky to get such an incompitant fool, I will get him to ring you for any information he needs. or maybe he can call your suppliers direct, it will make it so easy for Nissan japan to source such accurate information ,

I am sorry to have questioned your experience in Skylines.

Can your suppliers get me some of these genuine cars too, all these years Ive been relying on Nissan , I should have listened to all those aussie, kiwi, canadian, paki, indian,and shri lankin car brokers living in Japan, all hanging around the scrap yards and auctions, Over the past 9 years I've lost so many honest genuine deals. I should have just purchased over the net like most here,

I'm crushed , I won't sleep tonight.

Well I've been back to Nissan again, series 2 was released in Oct 95 officially, as from 2/96 all series 2 33 turbo skylines were fitted standard with ABS.

Prior to 2/96 it was a option on all 33 version cars.

like I said from my first input on this

from 2/96 all 33 skylines were fitted with ABS, the brochure was printed prior to 2/96. this is official from Nissan

Yes your correct I suppose, it was you instant who said 33 all had ABS standard, I agree with you as I personally have never seen a Turbo series 2 without ABS, I contacted Nissan to find out the truth from them , I guess some people don't want to find the truth.

But this I do know for sure !!!!! there are a lot of non genuine supposibly "genuine" cars out there, give me your chassis no and model number and I'll find the truth for you. IF YOUR NOT AFFRAID OF THE TRUTH. I can also find how many owners its had and where it was sold and where it lived in japan , also 80% of Skyline imports are purchased from the "accident repair section" of the auctions.

in the end I guess as long as your happy with it then thats what counts.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
